Hello,

Since one week my norton reacts a few times a day. It says it has remove a
trojan file named warpigs.exe from my computer.

does anyone know how to eliminate this problem definitively ?

Attempts to connect to computers that have weak administrator passwords.
Some of the passwords that it attempts are: ....

dunno if your on a network or not, or if your admin password would be a weak
one :p might be getting reinfected by a close by pc?

else it just looks like your bog standard trojan, and you shouldnt keep
getting reinfected unless your using internet exploder and keep visiting the
same site it originally came from (or did it come from one of those emails
in lookout express that you didnt delete?)

could always be the dodgy system restore thing restoring it, who knows, only
you can tell us the answer and seems you dont know it

well, special removal tool here -
ftp://ftp.f-secure.com/anti-virus/tools/f-warpigs.zip .. dunno if its
version dependant or not, or what version you have

cheerio

thanks for all. I will read that and try to remove the thing !
I have no lan and i never download programs or music. The only thing is a
forum activity and I guess the virus came from there.
